The availability of low cost powerful parallel graphic cards has estimu-lated a trend to implement diverse algorithms on Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). In this paper we describe the design of a parallel Cellular Genetic Algorithm (cGA) on a GPU and then evaluate its performance. Beyond the existing works on master-slave for fitness evaluation, we here… (More)

In this paper, we propose a parallel processing model based on systolic computing merged with concepts of evolutionary algorithms. The proposed model works over a Graphics Processing Unit using the structure of threads as cells that form a systolic mesh. Data passes through those cells, each one performing a simple computing operation. The systolic… (More)

INTRODUCTION
Best clinical practice for patients with suspected catheter-related infection (CRI) remains unclear according to the latest Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze clinical practice concerning the central venous catheter (CVC) and its impact on prognosis in patients with… (More)
